HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College’s Dr. Cathleen Cuppett has been selected to participate in the prestigious Wye Faculty Seminar July 17-23 at the Aspen Institute on the Aspen Institute-Wye River Campus in Queenstown, Maryland.

Cuppett, an Associate Professor of Spanish at Coker, will join 19 other professors from other liberal arts colleges and universities from across the country at the seminar for a week of intellectual dialogue. The seminar allows these faculty members the opportunity to exchange ideas and values that underlie their teaching and their lives as liberally educated people.

Founded in 1983 by Douglass Cater, then president of Washington College, and Josiah Bunting III, then president of Hampden-Sydney College, the Wye Faculty Seminar is unmatched in its power to provide professors teaching in the nation's liberal arts colleges and universities the opportunity to come together to learn from each other.
